Hey WSJ blogger, get moving on the updates. Taking 3 minutes to update the score is indefensible.

For the last fifteen minutes his own teammates should have spiked him to get him off the field.

Michael Bradley sucks. He is the worst player on the U.S. side. He blew two chances at goal, made bad passes and was the REASON that Portugal was able to score to tie the game. Get Michael Bradley off the pitch!!!

A knucklehead play by Bradley to NOT clear the ball immediately initiated the opportunity for Portugal to score the final goal. Also Cameron has his back to the offense and doesn't see the man closing to is outside. What a colossal mess up by the US.

Bradley should be removed from future games if US wants to advance. His performance is toxic. Anyone reviewing his last two games would feel as though he was playing for the other team. Better that we play 10 US players to 12 German players than to keep him on the pitch. Klinsmann should replace Bradley immediately.

Wasn't it tied when they started? What was the point of the game?

After playing an amazing game and coming back from their first goal giveaway, Team USA defenders were asleep on the final play. I felt as if I was watching my son's U12 league.

Sad way to end the game. Sloppy and sleepy. Bradley plays with no fire against the best.

Michael Bradley is traitor. Didn´t run, didnt´sore with an open goal, and then gave the ball away with 1 minute left??????????? WTF? His 10 teammates and thousands, millions of fans expect more. There is no forgivness for lack of heart. I hope Dempsey tells him what he thinks of him, because it is exactly what I have written here. Stop being passive America, we need to win

Kinda disappointed in Portugal. Expected a 3-0 win for Portugal, however, at least they have another chance. Te quiero portugal

I agree with the feedback regarding Bradley. The entire game he trots around the field waiting for a ball to come his way. His passes are often sloppy and regularly put his teammates in difficult situations. He turned the ball over in the last minute and that cost us the win. He should be benched.

The USA played very well with exception of Michael Bradley. He was absolutely terrible once again. He lost possession in the last 30 seconds that cost the USA the game. Watch it again and see.

All the commentators, with the exception of Taylor Twellman, continue to gloss over the colossal last minute mistakes by the US defensemen. It's unforgettable and unforgiveable for professionals at world class level to lose focus and LOSE a game they had won.

Yes, Ronaldo made a perfect pass, but in those final seconds, it was the two US right side defenders who lost the game. Watch the reply. There were two US defenders, who were just trotting along with Varela. And then they committed a cardinal sin: ball-watching. Instead of marking Varela, they were spectators, just watching the ball on the other side of the goal-mouth. Their jobs were to watch Varela. He was their man! Then he made a sudden short run and they never saw him until the ball was in the back of the net. Terrible and sad.

Right on Bradley... most of game; why is he even down in the scoriing box area with a minute left? How in the world was Cameron not marking the only player putting us at risk? For that matter, there were two of them (Johnson other?). Just cannot understand it.

Right on Bradley. Also, why was Cameron not marking tight the one player who put us at risk via pass?...and Johnson (?) from other side...

USA’s coach was asleep at the wheel. Bradley was totally exhausted during the overtime. This was obvious well before the last (Portugal) goal. Substitute for him and the USA controls the ball and the win is preserved. Kudos to Portugal. That was a fantastic goal!

All I know is that DeAndre Yedlin needs to understand when there is "1 minute" left in the game and the US is up by "1 Point" the objective is to keep possession not to attack the goal. Especially when he fails and gives the ball to the opposing team, which against Portugal facilitated a tie... MuLLady
